may 29th - treasure




treasure n. v.,
valued thing, darling or useful person; set store on, store up in the memory as dear or valuable 


Once you realise that the road is the goal and that you are always on the road, not to reach a goal, but to enjoy its beauty and its wisdom, life ceases to be a task and becomes natural and simple, in itself an ecstasy - 
 Nisargadatta Maharaj 


We are sometimes too quick to deny ourselves the small pleasures of life. 
To step outside and be grateful for the sun or the rain or the air we are so fortunate to breathe. 
To sleep wholly and deeply with no alarm but the inevitability of dawn. 
To savor a moment and acknowledge the steps you have walked to get where you are.

Life is fast. It is busy. 
It is street signs, and financial reviews, and ingredients in numbers instead of letters. 
It is constantly shifting, merging, changing.
And it is also slow. 
Like honey oozing from a spoon. 
It is the leaves turning autumnal hues. 
It is perseverance. 
It is the still before each breath. 
It is the flutter of my heart when you say my name. 

It’s ok to dream and strive for that dream, in fact, it’s commendable & admirable & amazing. To be brave enough to seek what is seeking you is beyond inspirational.
It’s also ok to cherish what is happening now no matter how simple it may seem. Because this road we tread now is ultimately the path to where we will be. And the view along the way, oh the view. 

Sometimes life is what happens when you calm your pace, articulate each step and slow down long enough to hear your soul dancing with the breeze.
Give yourself a second. You most definitely deserve it.

PEACE X
